See Where Production Capacity Is Lost.
Act While You Can Still Change the Shift.
ACI helps manufacturers make downtime, speed losses, changeovers and hidden capacity losses visible in real time.
Start with a simple shopfloor solution. Prove the value quickly. Expand only when you are ready.
A PROVEN STARTING POINT FOR MANUFACTURING IMPROVEMENT

Real-time
Shopfloor visibility, not yesterday’s report.
Scalable
From one line to multiple sites.
THE PROBLEM
Do You Know What Is Really Happening on Your Production Line?
Production losses are often discovered too late. The ERP shows what should happen. Reports explain what happened yesterday. Excel gives a partial overview. But operators and supervisors need to know what is happening now.
Downtime and recurring stops
Speed losses and micro-stops
Slow start-ups after changeovers
Output below target
Quality issues and rework
Capacity losses that remain invisible in standard reports
By the time the information reaches management, the opportunity to act during the shift has often disappeared.
THE ACI APPROACH
Start Where Results Are Created: On the Production Floor
ACI does not start with a large IT project. We start with the production line, the operators and the losses that matter most.
1 · Make the losses visible
Capture accurate production information directly from the line.
2 · Give people information they can use
Show operators, supervisors and managers what needs attention.
3 · Turn information into action
Use clear reports, structured follow-up and practical support.
4 · Scale when the value has been proven
Add lines, dashboards, integrations or tools when there is a clear business case.
Start simple. Prove the value. Scale when ready.
REAL-TIME VISIBILITY WITH XL
XL Visual Performance: A Fast and Proven First Step
The XL platform provides real-time information directly where improvement happens: on the shopfloor. Operators see whether the line is on target. Supervisors respond faster to downtime and speed loss. Managers receive a reliable foundation for improvement decisions.
What becomes visible?
Output versus target
OEE, availability, performance and quality
Downtime and reason codes
Changeover performance
Speed losses and cycle-time issues
Shift results and production trends
Operator comments and feedback
Reports and dashboards for supervisors and managers
Why manufacturers start with XL
Fast installation
Low initial investment
No unnecessary complexity
No heavy IT project
Suitable for existing and new machines
Clear visual feedback for operators
Reporting available from the start
Integration options for ERP, MES and PLC
THE DIFFERENCE ACI MAKES
A Device Collects Data. ACI Helps You Achieve Results.
Technology alone does not improve production. The value comes from a clear configuration, meaningful downtime reasons, useful reports and a team that knows how to act on the information.
ACI Starter Package
For companies that want to begin quickly with one or more lines: XL device, initial configuration, basic reporting structure, remote start-up support and guidance during the first weeks.
ACI Performance Package
Everything in Starter, plus review of downtime structure and reason codes, operator and supervisor guidance, reporting and dashboard configuration, and support for daily and weekly performance meetings.
ACI Improvement Package
Everything in Performance, plus a performance audit, analysis of recurring losses, improvement priorities, a practical roadmap and follow-up with management and production teams.
SCALABLE MANUFACTURING INTELLIGENCE
Already Collecting Production Data? Take the Next Step.
Some manufacturers already have an ERP, MES, SCADA system, sensors, PLC data or Power BI dashboards. But more data does not automatically lead to better decisions. ACI helps you connect the right information and add the tools that create practical value.
From real-time visibility to manufacturing intelligence
Cross-line and multi-site reporting
Central dashboards
ERP and MES integration
PLC and sensor integration
Advanced analysis
Workforce and job tracking
Custom reporting and improvement support
One practical roadmap. No unnecessary complexity.
OEE INTELLISUITE
Extend Your Visibility with OEE IntelliSuite
OEE IntelliSuite adds optional software tools for manufacturers who want to extract more value from production data and scale their approach.
OEE Pulse
Real-time monitoring, dashboards and alerts that help teams react faster when performance changes.
OEE Explorer
Advanced reporting and visual analysis to identify trends, compare lines and investigate recurring production losses.
OEE Work Tracker
Workforce and job tracking for better insight into the relationship between labour, jobs and production results.
OEE IntelliSuite can be added step by step. It is not necessary to implement everything at once.
A PRACTICAL START
The Most Extensive Platform Is Not Always the Best First Step
Many software platforms offer long lists of features. But before adding complexity, most manufacturers first need a reliable answer to a few practical questions:
Where are we losing production capacity?
Why does the line stop?
Are we producing at the right speed?
Are operators able to react quickly?
Which losses should we address first?
Can we demonstrate a measurable return on investment?
XL is often the fastest and most cost-effective way to create this foundation. When your requirements grow, ACI helps you expand with additional tools, integrations and support.
Start with what creates value today. Add more when it makes sense.
FOR EVERY LEVEL
One Source of Information. Different Decisions. Better Actions.
Operators
See the target, actual output and current losses in real time. React before the shift is over.
Supervisors
Understand where time is lost. Prioritise actions and support the team more effectively.
Production and Plant Managers
Compare shifts, lines and trends. Identify recurring losses and focus improvement resources.
Continuous Improvement Teams
Use reliable data to select projects, measure results and build a structured improvement process.
IT and Digital Manufacturing Teams
Start with a standalone solution and integrate with ERP, MES, PLC or reporting platforms when needed.
Information × Decisions × Actions = Results
PERFORMANCE AUDIT
Not Sure Where to Start?
An ACI Performance Audit gives you a clear view of the current situation. We review how production data is collected, visualised and used, and identify practical opportunities to improve daily follow-up, reporting and decision-making.
The outcome is a focused roadmap
What should be measured?
Which losses deserve priority?
How should operators and supervisors use the information?
Which tools are needed now?
What can be added later?
